"This is a thriller about geo-terrorism, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust as it reverberates decades later, and grasping global pharmaceutical syndicates. ... In his novel Tobias connects the Holocaust, the Anthropocene, and the Sixth Extinction Spasm. ... This is a crackerjack of a read. You will learn a lot about zoology, population extinction, Belarus, wilderness survival, and the love of family." (Bob Sanchez, The Internet Review of Books, Internetreviewofbooks.blogspot.de, November, 2016) "I highly recommend Codex Orfeo. But be prepared! What awaits the reader is a riveting literary expedition. Solid science, animal behavior, conservation biology, and human psychology all within a fictional odyssey by a very wise scientist. It's an unrelenting and powerful drama, the result of which we can all hope will be a true renaissance of virtue."
